Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commutation (SW) qui permet de passer d'un premier flot d'entrée de données comprimées (IS1) à un second flot d'entrée de données comprimées (IS2), produisant un flot de sortie de données comprimées (OS). Le dispositif de commutation comprend un système de mémoire tampon (BS) conçu pour stocker les données contenues dans le premier et le second flot d'entrée, et une unité de commande (CONT) commandant le stockage des flots d'entrée dans le système de mémoire tampon afin de passer, lors d'une demande de commutation, du premier flot d'entrée au second flot d'entrée, au moyen d'un commutateur (COM). Un système de transcodage (TS) est destiné à recevoir le flot de données à la sortie du commutateur et à fournir un flot de sortie sans coupure. L'utilisation d'un système de transcodage permet d'éviter un souspassement ou un dépassement de la mémoire tampon du décodeur qui devra décoder le flot de sortie. Ce système de transcodage permet, en outre, de coder le flot de sortie à un débit binaire R, où R peut être différent du débit binaire R1 du premier flot d'entrée et du débit binaire R2 du second flot d'entrée.
